Hieronymus of Rhodes
Hieronymus of Latin: Hieronymus Rhodius; c. 290 – c. 230 BC[1]) was a Peripatetic philosopher, and an opponent of Arcesilaus and Lyco of Troas. Only a few fragments of his works survive, preserved in the quotations of later writers.
Life
Hieronymus belonged to the Peripatetic school, though Cicero questions his right to the title. He appears to have lived down to the time of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. His philosophical opponents included not only the Academic philosopher Arcesilaus,[2] but also the Peripatetic Lyco of Troas who was hostile towards him.[3]
